Quatrième de couverture : "A l'évocation de la folie, on ne peut qu'être saisi par les images carcérales du traitement jadis réservé par la société au fou entravé et isolé derrière de hauts murs. Pourtant, cette histoire ne doit pas se laisser si aisément "enfermer". En arrière-plan se dégage une autre réalité, celle du soin et de la prise en charge du malade par le médecin. Depuis l'Antiquité, la folie est source d'intérêt, de fascination et de crainte. Du furieux à l'idiot en passant par le fou de Dieu et le possédé, celui que l'on appellera aliéné au XIXe siècle et malade mental au XXe siècle questionne chaque époque sur son identité et sa place dans la société. Du cercle familial vers la scène publique, le fou est ballotté au cours des siècles au gré de vents souvent contraires qui poussent tantôt à l'intégrer tantôt à limiter ses agissements. L'évolution historique témoigne de cette délicate recherche du point d'équilibre entre protection du fou et garantie de l'ordre public. En marge des idées reçues, ce livre raconte l'histoire tourmentée du face-à-face entre la société et le fou de l'Antiquité jusqu'à nos jours"

This book is a lively commentary on the eighteenth-century mad-business, its practitioners, its patients (or "customers"), and its patrons, viewed through the unique lens of the private case book kept by the most famous mad-doctor in Augustan England, Dr. John Monro (1715-1791). Monro's case book, comprising the doctor's jottings on patients he saw in the course of his private practice--patients drawn from a great variety of social strata--offers an extraordinary window into the subterranean world of the mad-trade in eighteenth-century London. The volume concludes with a complete edition of the case book itself, transcribed in full with editorial annotations by the authors. In the fragmented stories Monro's case book provides, Andrews and Scull find a poignant underworld of human psychological distress, some of it strange and some quite familiar. They place these "cases" in a real world where John Monro and other successful doctors were practicing, not to say inventing, the diagnosis and treatment of madness.
